The sea breeze was howling, waves of waves were coming, and Zheng Zhilong's ship was soon annihilated.

A strong opponent fell, and that Haonan was full of joy of victory, but there was a trace of regret in his heart. If there is no accident from him, Zheng Zhilong should become a hero who is proud of the south. Although he eventually surrendered to the Manchus and ended up in a miserable situation, it did not hide his brilliance, because he gave birth to a good son.

On the black water ocean, the wind and waves are higher and higher. There are not a few people who are loyal to Zheng Zhilong, even if they know that Zheng Zhilong's ship has been sunk, they are still fighting and resisting. The only thought in their hearts was that Zheng Zhilong was not dead. It's just overboard.

However, there is a clear gap between the two sides in terms of artillery combat strength. The resistance of the remnants of Zheng Zhilong's naval army was also useless, as they could not get close to the Pacific Fleet for traditional broadside battles, so the fate that awaited them would be completely annihilated.

Due to the defeat of the main force of Zheng Zhilong's naval army, the fleet no longer existed, and became a straggler, and the Pacific Fleet could not hit the attack, so it could only form a small formation of three or two warships to pursue the enemy ships, or single out the enemy ships.

This kind of fighting was the most time-consuming, and the battle to clear the remnants lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon.

I don't know whether to celebrate Na Haonan's victory or regret Zheng Zhilong's demise, at about half past one, the wind suddenly stopped, and the waves suddenly dropped from three or four meters high back to less than one meter.

As the sound of artillery became more and more sparse, the battle to clear the remnants was nearing its end. When Huang Dahai learned that Zheng Zhilong had been killed, he immediately ordered to stop entanglement with the fourth, fifth, and sixth warbands of the Pacific Fleet, and hurried back from twenty nautical miles away.

The three teams of the Pacific Fleet did not continue to entangle, they had already received orders to return to their positions and wait for the final decision of the Yellow Sea.

Huang Dahai led the Chinese army and the left army to rush back, and as far as the eye could see, the sea in a radius of 100 miles in the Heishui Ocean was in shambles. Warships of different sizes are scattered on the sea, and more than ninety percent of them are burning with fire. The flames were scorching, and thick smoke billowed out of the warship and soared into the sky.

The sea had calmed down, and the wreckage of the broken planks of the warship, the ruined masts, and the charred corpses were floating everywhere. The sea water was already stained red, and the strong stench and smell of blood came to my face, which was disgusting.

Huang Dahai sighed, he had long known that this would be the result, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so cruel.

Li Daben, a staff officer of the left army, said: "Five or six hours ago, it was the elite of the first naval army in the south, but now it is unbelievable!" Even if we go to war, it will be useless resistance! ”

Li Daben is Huang Dahai's confidant, and he has nothing to say to Huang Dahai.

"Although I have known that this is the result, I really don't know whether to meet him or not!"

Huang Dahai hesitated, before Guangzhi wanted to reunite with Deng Haonan's brothers, but now Di Haonan was on the Black Pearl in front of him, but he suddenly didn't dare to face that Haonan.

This is a psychological factor, and Li Daben understands Huang Dahai's feelings.

"I think Deng Haonan will come to see you in person!"

"How is that possible?" Huang Dahai waved his hand, although they are brothers, but that Haonan is now a loyal and brave uncle, how can he come to see him in person, a pirate!

Li Daben pointed to the sea on the right and said with a smile: "Just look at it!" ”

Huang Dahai followed Li Daben's direction, and sure enough, a clipper ship was released from the Black Pearl.

Li Daben took the clairmile and handed it to Huang Dahai again, and said, "I guess he must be on it!" ”

Huang Dahai was skeptical, but he still took the clairvoyant, he still looked forward to Na Haonan being on it, and he couldn't say why.

Sure enough, Deng Haonan was on it.

Huang Dahai put down his clairvoyant eyes, lowered his head and closed his eyes in contemplation. It took a long time to raise his head and say, "You really said it!" ”

Li Daben said with a smile: "Let's not say that you and he are good brothers who grew up with bare butts, and don't say that you saved his life, just you have forty big ships under your command, and ten thousand brothers are ready to take refuge in him, he will come to see you in person, even if it's just for show!" ”

Huang Dahai smiled: "Is it as unbearable as you say?" ”

Li Daben said: "That's right! Naturally, you don't have to say anything about your relationship! But even if he doesn't share the family with you, he will at least give you a big official job! I heard that the biggest officer under him is called the Chief of the General Staff. You have to at least ask him if he wants to be a deputy chief of the general staff, or sorry for the brotherly feelings! ”

Li Daben's phone call made Huang Dahai couldn't help laughing, and the feeling of mourning just now was suddenly swept away.

While speaking, Di Haonan had already boarded the No. 1 ship in the Yellow Sea.

Huang Dahai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You are really bold!" ”

Na Haonan smiled slightly, stepped forward and gave Huang Dahai a bear hug, and then said, "We will always be good brothers!" Isn't it? ”

A word of brother, nothing else needs to be said.

"Of course!" Huang Dahai gave Na Haonan another bear hug.

Li Daben was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this Huang Dahai was still too young and too self-willed, so that people would be caught by a brother, and they forgot about anything.

However, Li Daben is good at observing words and feelings, he can see Deng Haonan's true feelings, with his experience, that Haonan's eyes will not lie, which makes him feel a lot more at ease.

As long as Deng Haonan's friendship with Huang Dahai is there, then it will not be too difficult for their subordinates to follow Na Haonan in the future.

After some politeness, Deng Haonan repeatedly thanked Huang Dahai for saving his life, and secretly helped him collect information about Sichuan. Straight to the beginning, Huang Dahaidan said that he was behind the house

The two of them left the others aside and talked alone in the cabin.

"Zheng Zhilong is dead, what are you going to do with his family?"

Di Haonan understands that Huang Dahai has always been grateful and kind to Zheng Zhilong. This made Deng Haonan admire Huang Dahai's style of valuing love and righteousness, so he said: "What do you mean? Except for your wife who doesn't give it to you, everything else depends on you today."

Huang Dahai couldn't laugh or cry when Deng Haonan said, and said: "It's not a disaster for your wife and children, I hope Haonan can let them go!" ”

"No problem!"

Na Haonan agreed without thinking about it, because he had already thought about it before he came.

"That's it. Is Zheng Zhihu also released! ”

Huang Dahai's voice was obvious, he knew that Deng Haonan let Zheng Zhilong's family go because Zheng Zhilong's son didn't remember anything at all, it didn't matter. But Zheng Zhihu is different, he is Zheng Zhilong's younger brother, once he is released, God knows if he will seek revenge on Na Haonan.

"You beg me?"

"Me"

"Good!" Na Haonan didn't wait for Huang Dahai to explain, and said directly: "I agreed!" No matter what you ask today, I will agree."

Di Haonan was so generous that he let Zheng Zhilong's family and brothers go without thinking about it, which made Huang Dahai suddenly embarrassed.

Undoubtedly, Huang Dahai understood in his heart that Na Haonan was looking at his face, and perhaps he was returning the favor. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Huang Dahai knows how important he is in Na Haonan's heart, which is what he is most happy about.

"You really agreed?"

"Is that fake?" Deng Haonan said seriously: "The big clipper spits a nail in one mouthful."

Zheng Zhilong Group has collapsed, and a Zheng Zhihu can no longer make waves, so Na Haonan doesn't care about letting Zheng Zhihu go. If this can be exchanged for Huang Dahai's gratitude, then Na Haonan will undoubtedly earn it.

"Still. Na Haonan changed his words and said: "I released Zheng Zhihu, which is equivalent to one more enemy!" ”

Huang Dahai smiled: "You have so many subordinates who are still afraid that a toothless Zheng Zhihu will not succeed?"

"If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves! You've got to make it up to me."

"Okay!" Huang Dahai smiled: "How do you want me to compensate you!" Help you seduce Qin Huai's Eight Uniques. Or is it everyone's girlfriend?.

Di Haonan smiled: "You can help me do things!" Just make it up to me! ”

Huang Dahai rolled his eyes, and then he realized that Hao Nan was inviting in disguise. This invitation is very tactful, not to do things for him, but to help him do things. In fact, the essence is the same. But the tone was different, so that Huang Dahai couldn't refuse. looked at Deng Haonan's sincerity. Huang Dahai pondered for a long time, and finally burst out laughing.

"First of all! I'm not going to do it when I'm small! ”

"How's the Governor of Taiwan doing?"

"Governor of Taiwan?" Huang Dahai was stunned, "Where is Taiwan?" ”

"Taiwan is Dongfan!"

"You changed your name?"

Di Haonan nodded, and Huang Dahai said with a smile: "It seems that the Taiwan in the east is still in the hands of the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, and it is not your shout!" ”

Na Haonan smiled mysteriously. Huang Dahai asked with some surprise: "You won't be impossible."

Beigang has a strong system of coastal defense fortresses, and it will never be able to take it. Huang Dahai shook his head, this is absolutely impossible!

"The front of Beigang is naturally unbreakable!" Na Haonan said: "But you forgot that my base is on the other side of Taiwan Island, over Yushan, Beigang has a panoramic view!" ”

Huang Dahai suddenly figured out the key to it, and sighed: "It turns out that you have been planning Beigang for a long time!" ”

"It's a pure coincidence!" Deng Haonan said: "At first, there were not many people in Taiwan, so I couldn't be interested. Now Zheng Zhilong has helped me drive nearly two million people to the island, and I can't help but accept this big gift! ”

Huang Dahai smiled bitterly: "If Zheng Zhilong knows, even if he doesn't die in battle, he will be angry to death!" Yours is it! ”

Then Deng Haonan told Huang Dahai about sending people to capture Beigang and the Dutch fortress, and Huang Dahai was so slammed that he heard it.

"It's about the same over there now." Deng Haonan said confidently: "When we go back." You will directly be your governor of Taiwan, and your subordinates will be temporarily organized into the Taiwan Garrison, Gendarmerie, and Police, and the fleet will be organized into the Taiwan Coast Guard, and they will be returned to your control! ”

Huang Dahai heard this. I am very grateful. This is a great trust in him, and as a good brother, this is enough.

Huang Dahai is not worried about his future, he believes that Na Haonan will not treat him badly. He was worried that his subordinates were working under Deng Haonan, and it was inevitable that he would be a little estranged from Deng Haonan's subordinates. Now Di Haonan has restrained his subordinates intact, which is the best solution for both parties.

After nearly two hours of secret talks between Na Haonan and Huang Dahai, they reached the most perfect agreement. Both sides rejoiced. Nearly 10,000 people of the local navy under the Yellow Sea Department defected to Deng Haonan and accepted the reorganization.

At half past four in the afternoon, the Heishuiyang battlefield was cleared. The 12-hour Battle of the Black Water Ocean ended with a complete victory for Deng Haonan's Pacific Fleet.

In this battle, the Pacific Fleet sank a total of 122 warships of Zheng Zhilong's command and killed more than 17,600 people. More than 11,300 people are missing. Two 1,000-ton warships and four 700-ton warships were captured, and more than 700 people were captured.

Twelve frigates of the Pacific Fleet withdrew from the battle sequence, and although three of the Guangchuan-type frigates were not sunk in battle, they could not plug the loopholes because the waves were too big, and in the end the captain had to fight in the middle of the battle, and the Dapingyang Fleet was arrayed, with 92 people and 570 wounded, and the high-ranking officer killed was Captain Li Guozhang, the first mate of the battleship Knife.

※※

When the Pacific Fleet won a great victory in the Battle of the Black Water, the Army also launched a fierce offensive.

On the night of 27 July, Major General Zhan Zengyong, commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Army, personally led 2,000 Longwu Guard cavalry to land in the area of Xiaoliuqiutou in Tamsui Yang.

After landing, Zhan Zengyong immediately led 2,000 cavalry along the Tamsui River to attack the Spanish fortress of Santo Domingo in Tamsui.

The fortress of Santo Domingo was built in the western year, and the scale is not large, equivalent to the scale of the city wall before the Golden State Guard.

The Spanish army had withdrawn, and although nominally under Dutch rule, the Dutch did not send troops. Therefore, Zhan Zengyong led the iron cavalry to occupy this fortress.

There were less than 300 men in the fortress of Santo Domingo, with the Spaniards accounting for more than half and the Portuguese and a small number of Dutch. There are quite a few people living outside the city, most of whom are ethnic minorities from Taiwan, as well as Han Chinese who have migrated from the mainland, and the total number is estimated to be around 20,000, all of whom are engaged in farming, sericulture, sugarcane planting, and imitation weaving. Typical feudal manor economy. The people here knew that they were being hired by the Spaniards, but they were happy to work for them, because they were at least fed here.

Faced with a sudden attacker, the Dutch protested. However, in the face of muskets and sabers, they soon found that the protest was ineffective and honestly accepted the reality.

It was learned from the Spanish that the fortress of San Salbado had no defenders, so he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he left 500 men to guard the fortress of San Domingo, and then led the remaining 1,500 cavalry to continue to attack the fortress of San Salbado in a chicken coop.

On July 28, Zhan Zengyong led his army over Huangshan and reached the fortress of St. Saerbado in the middle of the day.

The Fort of Santa Salbado is much larger than the Fort of Santo Domingo, which is equivalent to the current size of the Golden State Guard. However, the construction of the fortress was only started in the summer of the second year, and the main work was only two-thirds completed, and the fort artillery had not even been installed.

It may be that the fortress was not completed, and there were even fewer foreigners in the city, less than one hundred and thirty people. Outside the city, there are many mulberry farms, and the whole chicken coop is peaceful and peaceful. There are many more Han people working for these 100 foreigners than there are Han people outside the fortress of Santo Domingo, and Zhan Zengyong roughly estimated that the population is no less than 30,000.

As before, when the Spaniards in the city saw Zhan Zengyong's army, they first protested, and then saw that Zhan Zengyong didn't buy it, and suddenly wilted like frosted eggplant.

There were no casualties or further words in the capture of these two fortifications. Although the foreigners in the two cities had muskets and other weapons, they knew that they were not superior in numbers, and he did not dare to provoke them in the face of the murderous dragon warrior cavalry. Perhaps they never gave up protesting in their hearts, hoping that their country's army would come and punish Zhan Zengyong and other invaders. However, before the reinforcements arrived, they had to be men with their tails between their legs.

It begins with the capture of the fortress of Santo Domingo by the cavalry of the Dragon Guard. The transport fleet of the War Department carried the 1st Division of the 1st Mounted Artillery Corps to the shore.

The 1st Cavalry Artillery Division, under the personal command of Lieutenant General Li Han, transported 300 Apocalypse Five-Year Field Artillery and is currently stationed in the fortress waiting for further orders.

There is no power in northern Taiwan. Except for the Tu tribe in the mountains, there were not even bandits. The combat mission of the cavalry artillery was directed at the Dutch fortresses in the south of Taiwan. However, they will not be able to come in handy until the Marines capture North Harbor and remove the threat of coastal batteries. Until then, they can only take the place of the city defense army to defend the fortress. as fundamental.

The logistics department of the Liaodong Governor's Office then brought in the fortress artillery, and the sappers repaired the fortress and set up a new fortress defense system.

During this period, Zhan Zengyong also led the Longwuwei cavalry to tentatively turn around the surrounding area a few times, reminding the people nearby that from today onwards, the surname will be changed to Deng.

After the common people learned that it was the imperial army. Immediately let down his guard. They didn't know the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, and they didn't even know who Na Haonan was. However, after inquiring, they immediately welcomed the law of the Liaodong Governor's Office.

※※

The purpose of the operation of Tamsui and chicken coop had been achieved, but the progress of the Marines landing from Cape Doro was not very smooth.

According to the intelligence, it is said that if you cross the Jade Mountain, you can directly appear in the rear of Beigang, but in fact, it is not easy to climb over the Jade Mountain. Xie Yi and Liu Feng led the Marines to really suffer.

Although the Marines were all born in the south, the forests in eastern Taiwan are basically primeval forests with no human population, and even if the Tu people of Duoluo Point lead the way, it will be a kind of torment for the Marines.

Originally, it was planned to cross the Jade Mountain in three days, but that meant that the Tu people could pass through the Jade Mountain in three days, and in terms of the actions of the opponent's Marine Corps, it was impossible to cross the Jade Mountain in three days.

Wild beasts, high temperatures, mosquitoes, and bites plague the Marines all the time, and non-combat attrition is always around them.
